Our bottom line is safety. As a matter of fact, students are supervised 24/7 guaranteeing parents that their children are taken care of in the most appropriate way.

Multilingual staff members will assure that students are understood in their necessities and requirements. However, Italian is the language students need be immersed in and other languages shall only be used in case that the foreign language is indispensable.

The Italian lessons are divided into 2 units of 2 lessons each, with a 30-minutes break in between. Each unit is executed by a different teacher.
